Fixing bad lining paper

Why did you paper the ceilings? My downstairs ceilings are papered with a textured paper to cover up terrible plaster and I don't notice it at all, so papering over with a slightly textured paper might be an option. Or papering across the direction of the bad paper in lining paper (after slicing bubbles of course). Or skimming, but that depends on what you're hiding in the first place and is expensive.
